World Famous Gopher Hole Museum

If you dig a bit of (somewhat creepy) eccentric kitsch, then the 'world famous' Gopher Hole Museum might just be worth a detour on your road trip through Alberta.

This bizarre hole in the wall attraction in the tiny hamlet of Torrington is one of Canada's stuffiest museums. All dressed up with nowhere to go, over 70 taxidermied Richardson's Ground Squirrels-commonly known as gophers-display tiny scenes of rural life.
